I found a dead bat, skunk or raccoon in my back yard where my dogs were; do I need to report it?: Yes. Most cases of rabies occur in wild animals, mainly skunks, raccoons, bats and foxes. Should your pet be exposed to any of these types of wildlife, it is very important that both Code Enforcement and your Vet are notified. Code Enforcement will come and pick up the dead wildlife, so that it can be tested at no cost to you. Your Vet will probably have you bring your pet in for an immediate booster.
